Chapter 255 Step on Two Boats With One Foot

Early the next morning, while adjusting his tie, Alex stood by the bed and watched Elly sleep soundly and quietly walked out of the room for fear of waking her.

When he went down to the living room, he glanced from the empty sofa and saw the workers making the sheets.

"Sir, Miss Emily went back to her room early in the morning."

Alex put aside its nonsense and talked about important things.

"Stay up late, so you don't have to ask her for breakfast. Tell the kitchen to prepare steaming food at any time, and she will have it ready downstairs."

"Yes, sir." The servant bowed respectfully and was familiar with the master's careful care of Elly.

He was amazed at watching Alex drives himself to work. Miss Elly should be glad to be liked by her master.

When Alex drove to the company, he accidentally saw a familiar figure by the side of the road. He frowned and observed at her embarrassment.

The high-heeled shoes were lifted and the girl limped up and down the road which attracted a lot of people's attention.

Alex drove slowly by, examined carefully, and confirmed his identity, and it was really Rosalyn.

Alex parked on the side of the road. He opened the door and made a phone call.

Rosalyn sighed at her bad luck when a figure suddenly appeared in front of her. She didn't expect it and pounced on each other's shoulder.

Because of inertia, she immediately fell back. Luckily, her waist was caught with a big hand. Her body is poured over the broad chest and her nose bumped into his suit.

"Are you okay?" The man's voice sounded from the top of her head which puzzled her. She looked up and recognized the solemn face.

"Alex? Why are you here?"

Alex did not answer the question, but grabbed her by the wrist and tugged her.

"What happened? Where will you take me?" Rosalyn repeatedly insisted as she tugged her body away, and was pushed into the car by Alex.

There was a cold hint in Alex's order. "Stop."

She was startled and was forced to hop in the passenger seat. She looked at a luxurious jeep, cleverly understood what he meant, and finally sheepishly refused.

"No, I'm heading to the company. I can walk by myself. Walking together will be misunderstood by others."

"Are you going to go to the company with your hurt leg? Since when does my friend start to work?"

"I..." Rosalyn was speechless for a moment.

When it was cold, Alex started the car. Instead of driving to Rosalyn's company, he turned his head in the other direction.

"Where are you taking me? My company is not in this way." Rosalyn screamed with worry.

"I know," Alex answered briefly. "Let's go and buy shoes."

Shoes? Rosalyn stopped. Fleeting, but hastily refused. "No, don't make a fuss."

He glanced at her through the mirror and replied to her in a calm tone. "Don't let yourself be pitiful in the eyes of others. Keep it decent and appear in front of people with a straight back of pride."

She was suffocated by her arrogant words. Irrefutable, she obediently obeyed his arrangement.

The car was parked in front of the mall, and Alex led her to a high-end shoe store and ordered her. "If you want a replacement, take it."

As she examined a series collection of luxurious shoes, Rosalyn was suddenly confused and didn't know how to choose the right one. She asked Alex for help.

"Can you help me pick out a pair? Men's aesthetic records are always more accurate than women."

She left the decision in his hands, but he didn't thought much about it and simply called the salesperson and asked him. "Choose a pair of suitable shoes for the lady."

"Yes, sir. Miss, follow me, please."

The hope of Rosalyn was thwarted by Alex's words. She hurriedly hid the light of disappointment in her eyes and followed the salesperson.

Rosalyn chose a pair of black high heels with a style and thread that suited her skirt. Rosalyn studied her stance. She walked back and forth several times and carefully asked Alex Hargreaves' opinion.

"What do you think of it, Alex? Can I go now?"

"You can have it if you like." He answered briefly, glanced at her without further comment.

The joy of beautiful shoes was halved, and Rosalyn looked at the shoes on her feet in disappointment and nodded to the salesperson. "Could you wrap it for me, please?"

"We don't need a package. Let's go." Alex gave the card to the salesperson, which was decidedly autocratic.

After they checked out and paid for the shoes, Alex went outside and waited. Rosalyn studied other designs and another salesperson readjusted her shoelaces.

After she refurbished the shoes, the shop assistant looked at Rosalyn with envy and glanced at Alex. "Honey, you are lucky to have a handsome boyfriend who is very kind to you."

"Boyfriend?" Rosalyn was startled.

"Isn't that handsome man your boyfriend?" The salesperson suspected.

Rosalyn smiled and didn't deny it. She nodded her thanks and left the shop.

"I'm done. Let's go."

He didn't even look at the shoes on her feet, Alex nodded and headed to the car.

On their way to the company, Rosalyn said cautiously. "Actually, you don't have to take me to buy shoes. If Elly knew, it would be bad for her to misunderstand what happened."

"Never mind, she's not malicious to think that way." Alex's voice is very confident.

Rosalyn was immediately ashamed of her words. She vaguely felt that Alex already had a bad opinion of her.

She was silent. She went out of the car, bowed her head, and thanked him, then walked into the company.

A colleague happened to show up at the right time at witnessed her went out of someone's car.

"Nice to see you here. Miss Rosalyn, your boyfriend is so handsome. Judging from his car, I can see that he is of extraordinary status."

Rosalyn smiled shyly. She didn't even deny nor explained further.

Another colleague also came over and blinked. "Our young lady just happens to be beautiful. She is a celebrity on the media network recently. Of course, her date can't be too bad. I think I've seen him somewhere."

"Is he also a celebrity? I am so sleepy and curious about this handsome man that I couldn't think of anything else."

Rosalyn laughed in front of them because of amusement. She pushed her colleague's shoulder and pretended to swear. "Don't flatter me."

As they helplessly watched her walk quickly into the door of the company, the two colleagues turned to look at each other and muttered to themselves. "She was flattered and Sister Tan flushed with shame. It seems that this man is very important."

Rosalyn did not expect that Alex would be kind enough to buy shoes for her. That afternoon, there were rumors on the Internet that he had a new girlfriend.

"This is a high-end brand. Alex must like this new girlfriend very much, so he brought her here early in the morning. Are two people going to take each other somewhere later?"

"Ms. Elly was dumped? Really big boss? Before her is a beautiful woman, but now, she is much prettier than her."

"Didn't Alex and Elly broke up? Is this a step between two ships?"

"Alex is definitely rowing on two rivers. After all, he is a big boss and can have as many mistresses as he wants."

A large number of malicious guesses continued to appear on the Internet which made Alex very angry. He called the public relations department and ordered. They immediately processed the information online, looked for the source of rumors, and issued warnings. They use the law to deal with these worms.

At the Hargreaves family manor, Elly walked out of the room near noon and had lunch instead of late breakfast in the canteen. She sat lazily in the living room and drank tea. She browsed her mobile phone and surfed the Internet. She was distressed when she saw the news on the Internet.

She believed in Alex's feelings very much, but she couldn't help but felt sour and jealous about his intimacy with his old friend.

She clapped her hands and thoughtfully contemplated. Elly can't take her eyes off their picture. In the photo, Alex kindly watched Rosalyn tried on her shoes. The picture showed Alex paid with his bank card, while Rosalyn walked shyly with her head down.

Emily Russel put the teacup into her mouth and sipped. She watched her face secretly and pretended to remind her kindly. "Well, I'll go ahead, Elly. Rosalyn is not as simple as you think. You'd better be careful in case you get stabbed in the back."

It took her a few seconds to digest Emily Russel's words. Elly was a little displeased with what she had just heard. She put her phone on the table and adjust her voice.

"There's nothing to be afraid of. I'm sure his friendship with her is not the first time, he had been with another woman. He's was always followed by women. I believe in the dignity of Rosalyn."

"Why don't you take precautions? Elly, you are always stupid enough to look down and be complacent at people." Emily Russel stood loudly.

"Yes, I'm always stupid enough to be complacent at people." Elly tilted her head and looked at her.

Emily Russel ignored the heartbeat of her heart in front of her scrutinizing eyes and drove in a different direction after disclosing the news.

"At that time, they were in the same place, and it was all your fault. In order to keep Rosalyn from appearing in front of Alex, I made a lot of effort. Did you think that their relationship is too weak to be husband and wife? Alex is a man after all. When will you understand that?"

Elly was silent, speculated in her heart that Emily Russel deliberately incited her. But then, a small part of her mind still felt uneasy about her words.

She bowed her head to cover the expression on her face.

"I'm sure Alex is not like that. He'll take care of it."

"How can you be so indifferent when your man is overwhelmed by others?" Emily Russel's words and implication rang in her ears. She had a bad temper and a nervous voice. In Emily Russel's view, Rosalyn is more difficult to deal with than Elly.

After a long silence, Elly suddenly asked questions that had nothing to do with the rumors.

"What means did you use to make Rosalyn study away from Alex Hargreaves?"
